Which Filofax Organisers Have Krause Style Rings?

Which Filofax organisers are fitted with Krause style rings? Ones that can removed and replaced? 

This question came up recently. I'm not aware of a listing of which models have Krause style rings. Therefore I think we should create one. 

I will add a further qualification to the question though, whilst some of the recent models such as the Classic Croc have non-riveted ring mechanisms they instead use the PXR style mechanism which are very securely mounted on the backing plate. This makes them difficult to remove and also to replace them because finding replacements is not easy, unless you know different. 

To create this list we need your help. Please comment below with the name of the model and the approximate year and include if the ring mechanism is riveted in or it has a plain top cover which would suggest a Krause style mechanism is used. 

To get us started here are some popular models:

  • Malden - Riveted
  • Finsbury - Riveted
  • Winchester - Krause Style
  • Chameleon - Riveted
  • Domino - Riveted through the spine
  • Fusion - Riveted
  • Belmont - Krause Style
  • Holborn - Riveted
  • Sandhurst - Krause Style
  • Cavendish - Krause Style
  • Kensington - Krause Style
  • Eton - Krause Style
  • Cuban - Riveted
  • York - Krause Style
Thank you for your help.

  1. There are other types of fixing to consider too. In particular, Pocket Slim, Personal Slim, Slimline etc. have a tag fitting that enables the (non-Krause) mechanism to be removed. It’s not something to be done more than once of twice though, as the tags break.

  5. Just sent a list think it may have been anonymous 🤔

    To add to that list,
    Sandhurst
    York
    Westminster

    I am sure there are plenty more that don't spring to mind.

  9. I have a Buckingham 2MLF 7/8 Personal that has a plain cover on the rings (other than the script f at the midway point). No QC code. Mid-80's? The rings feel high-quality.
